DKNY’s Be Delicious line has a new spring fragrance out – Fresh Blossom that I have been dying to pick this up.  The scent is light and feminine, much lighter than the other perfumes in this line.  My only hold back was the price.  But if I can get a free bonus gift AND a $25 gift card, I am just going to have to pick it up this weekend.

Straight from Fashion Week, here are Redken’s Spring/Summer 2009 Hair Trends featuring:

• Perfectly Undone
• Up and Away
• Instant Update
• Middle Ground

Perfectly Undone

 One of my favorite looks! I love this tousled, messy look that will work for both the day and evening.

Up and Away

Sleek and sophisticated…

Instant Update

Adding a hair accessory like a hat or a headband can instantly change up your look. Unfortunately, I can’t pull off headbands.

Middle Ground

 Looks like the middle part is back in style. Good-bye side swept bangs?

Will you be rocking any of these hairstyles this upcoming season

suki, an organic and natural beauty line, has recently launched  a solid version of suki’s #1 best-seller, the exfoliate foaming cleanser. In fact, suki customers demanded that this soap be made! This all natural, solid shea butter bar awakens the senses with an invigorating citrus scent and imparts an all over sensual cleansing experience with organic shea butter, lemongrass and ginger.

Product Details:

• A solid version of suki’s #1 best-seller exfoliating cleanser
• Made with 100% organic ingredients – All-natural shea butter and lemon grass extract
• Ideal for sensitive skin

Approx. Price: $10

Where to Purchase? Online or nationwide Whole Food Stores

The Bottom Line: This multi-purpose cleansing bar can be used both on your face and body.  However, I only used it on my body – because I tend to break out easily.  I usually don’t like bar soaps, but I was pleasantly surprised with suki Sensitive Skin Cleansing Bar.  My main gripe with bar soaps is that they tend to leave a filmy residue and tend to be drying than body washes.  Unlike most bar soaps, suki’s Sensitive Skin Cleansing Bar rinsed away clean and did not dry out my skin.  This beauty bar is ultra concentrated as well.  I have been using it for a month and still have more than 3/4 left! As for the smell, the soap leaves a light lemon smell that makes it perfect for the upcoming Spring season.

Would I repurchase? No.  Even though this product works wonderfully, the price is a huge drawback for me.  $10 for a bar soap is a bit pricey for me. I’d rather keep using my drugstore body wash.
